摘要

Focus group methodology was used to describe how members of multidisciplinary teams in long-term care facilities recognize when residents are approaching end-stage disease, document evidence that associated treatment futility has occurred, and convey this information to the residents, each other, and family members. In addition to the typical clinical indicators of treatment futility found in the literature (e.g., recurrent infections, weight loss, falls, functional decline), team members described a set of physical and affective changes that were apparent to them as their residents approached trajectories of imminent terminal decline. While more difficult to quantify and measure, these other indicators have a significant impact on the ways that team members assess and interpret a person's survival potential. Using these indicators of both treatment failure and imminent decline requires knowledge of a resident's history, clinical condition, course of care, and individual idiosyncrasies. Together, the indicators offer important cues that are needed for the identification of persons who might benefit from earlier transitions to palliative care.
